Question

source 1: \birds dont eat monarch butterflies. we tasted a male butterfly while vacationing in costa rica and it tasted like hazelnuts. we didnt get sick or throw up, so the butterflies cant be toxic. birds must not like the taste of hazelnuts.\ - from nature enthusiasts robin brooks and jasmine birch, writing on wildlyedible.com based on the information provided, is the domain of source 1 reliable or unreliable? reliable unreliable what do we know about the reliability of the author in source 1? the authors are unreliable because
ature enthusiasts\ would never eat butterflies. the authors are unreliable because the term
ature enthusiast\ does not necessarily mean \expert\; not enough is known about them besides being vacationers. the authors are reliable because as
ature enthusiasts,\ they probably pay a lot of attention to the behavior of the animals in their surroundings.

Explanation:

For the first question, the domain "wildlyedible.com" is likely unreliable as it is a general - interest website (from the name) and not a peer - reviewed scientific source. For the second question, the term "nature enthusiast" does not imply expertise. Just because they are enthusiasts on vacation, there is no indication of their scientific knowledge or research methods.

Answer:

Unreliable.
The authors are unreliable because the term "nature enthusiast" does not necessarily mean "expert"; not enough is known about them besides being vacationers.
